Background
Elisa Camiscioli writes about immigration to and from France, sex trafficking and illicit migration, and race and sexual politics in modern France and its empire. She is the author of Reproducing the French Race: Immigration, Intimacy, and Embodiment in the Early Twentieth Century (Duke University Press, 2009), and her recent work on trafficking, migration and gendered undesirability in France and the Americas has been supported, most recently, by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
